The UK is poised to send more money and troops to NATO’s Eastern flank in the Baltic states - but won’t enter Ukraine or set up a no-fly zone.
Armed Forces Minister James Heappey restated an earlier announcement to send around 900 more British troops to eastern Europe as he said more commitments could come soon.
Britain leads the battlegroup in Estonia and was due soon to have around 1,800 troops there, after it promised to double the number of UK forces in the country. Britain also has 140 troops in Poland.
